    Let's use our largest amount (quarter) to see how many can fit evenly into 1.74.

    1.74/0.25 = 6.96 The most quarters that can fit into $1.74 is 6.

    ---Multiply $0.25 by 6 = $1.50

    ---Subtract $1.50 from $1.74 = $0.24

    ---We need to use the rest of the coins to fill up $0.24.

    Now let's use our second largest amount (dime) to see how many can fit evenly into 0.24.

    0.24/0.10 = 2.4 The most dimes that can fit into $0.24 is 2.

    ---Multiply $0.10 by 2 = $0.20

    ---Subtract $0.20 from $0.24 = $0.04

    No nickels can fit into $0.04, because they are worth $0.05.

    We can use our least amount (pennies) to fill in the $0.04 remaining.

    Your answer is 6 quarters, 2 dimes, and 4 pennies.
